Answer
When a child suddenly starts to salivate and have spasms in their hands without any pain while sleeping, it could be an epilepsy seizure. It might also indicate a recurrence of brain hypoxia or hemorrhage. Meanwhile, it’s important to ensure the baby’s weight is normal and to rule out central nervous system infections. Guidance: Consider conducting a cranial CT scan and a 24-hour dynamic electroencephalogram to help with diagnosis. If brain hypoxia is severe, oxygen therapy and brain cell activators may be necessary. If the electroencephalogram shows abnormalities, medication for sedation may be required.
